"Somali jihadists forcing civilians to watch executions"

SNIPPET: "Movies and television? No way. Executions? Bring the whole family -- or else! "Somalis 'made to view executions'," by Mary Harper for BBC News, October 25:"

SNIPPET: "Hundreds of people in Somalia have been forced to watch Islamist militants executing two people accused of spying.

People in Merca said al-Shabaab militia patrolled the town with loudspeakers, demanding they attend the executions.

The militants also ordered schools to close for the day as they were keen for children to watch the two men being shot dead by a firing squad.

Most of those at the execution, on a patch of open ground, are reported to have been women and children."

SNIPPET: "It recently organised a quiz for young men in the southern town of Kismayo.

The prizes included AK-47 assault rifles, hand grenades and anti-tank mines.

The aim, said al-Shabaab, was to stop young men from wasting time, and to focus on important things like defending their territory and their religion."

BUTT, BUTT, Obama says there is no “war on terrorism”.

These “terrosits” are really our friends.

I think he’s getting ready for another apology tour.

That’s an on target statement 353FMG; however if I wrote it it would state, “Guess how many are taxi drivers in the U.S.A. now?”

Also, I would be thinking about more than Al-Shabaab and I would be wondering that about the global jihadis in general — how many of those individuals are in the U.S.A. doing taxi driving, vendor carts, vendor stands and other occupations like gas station attendants and dish washers?

Oh well...random thoughs out loud...

Don’t be in such a hurry to find out — we’ll know the answer soon enough.
